## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask.

### `pdf_info`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Number of pages, title, author, creation date and whether the PDF has extractable text.
Use when: you want to know what a PDF is before reading it.
Example: {"url":"https://pdf.faceabot.com/sample.pdf"}
```

## Only reads (1)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `pdf_extract_text`

- The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Reads a PDF from its public https address and returns its text, page by page (parse / read a PDF: invoices, papers, reports, contracts, forms…). Up to 10 MB; use start to read further.
Use when: you need the text content of a PDF file. Not for scanned PDFs (images only): those need OCR.
Example: {"url":"https://pdf.faceabot.com/sample.pdf"}
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `pdf`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__pdf__pdf_extract_text"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__pdf__pdf_info"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
